Missing Items

True. How many do you have? Put your name and address on it. I have two that someone else misplaced. I should have put my name on them, because now I forget where I left them. It all measures up sooner or later.

Let's see... My knitting needles. Kids seem to think they make great drumsticks and run off with them. Gloves. My kids socks. My tapestry needles, once found one sitting on the front porch after about a month of looking for them. Also, anything I happen to need if I need it right that second.

This morning I found one of my favourite knitting needles. Hopefully, I find the rest of the set before I have to buy new favourite knitting needles.

Throughout life, I have noticed that I always find the recent thing I was searching for when I am searching for the current misplaced thing. So it pays to lose things often.

Pens. Good Lord we have a Bermuda triangle of pens. I can't tell you how many packages have been bought.

During the last year of my fathers life I know that I bought him 20 pair of reading glasses. I've only found one. He was house bound and there are no glasses here.

Scissors, my special good tweezers,tape,car keys.
My kids when little, the shed key, and every single winter hat they owned it seems...

The last piece of a puzzle.

Once while shopping in a quilt/fabric shop I lost my glasses, I was getting upset with myself, they were new and expensive. While waiting to have fabric cut I looked at the woman in front of me, 'those glasses look just like mine'. She took off the glasses off 'these aren't mine' and then she had lost her glasses.

Hubby lost a brand new smart phone, never found.

Knitting needles, even yarn, fabric, I've even manages to have a spinning wheel missing. I think my daughter borrowed and forgot, my granddaughter remembers seeing it in her house??????

I learned a long time ago, a place for everything and everything in its place, but I keep forgetting. I can be working on something, never walk away but can't find a tool or a screw OR something. Look for it, walk away, come back, right there. I know I looked RIGHT there. They say it will be right where you left it, also it IS the last place you look, BUT I never stop looking, still, never FIND it....James

Work gloves. Mittens. Rolls of twine. Wire cutters. Any tape or scissors. And embroidery needles.
At least it isn't just me. But for heaven's sake, where do they GO???
And yes, puzzle pieces!!

Ever since I started leaving a saucer of cream out for the House Brownies and Kobolds I no longer have items go missing.

Grill lighters, and plumbing or pipe dope I can never find the glue when building plumbing

Dust pans. I inherited that trait from my mother.

The words dear wife says when she turns and walks away from me while talking....

I thought I was the only one to lose racketing garden pruners…now have several because I had to keep buying. It's not like they are the bread thingie (which I throw away so as to not go insane looking for it), they are much bigger!

I hear ya. Sometimes it is even faster for me to make the hour round trip to town. All I can say is thank God the item is not a snake. I would surely be dead.
